General introduction

Overview

ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System is a genetic method for detecting interactions between proteins in

vivo in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System draws on modiﬁcations

by Chevray & Nathans and incorporates Gateway™ Technology.

Supported applications

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System supports three types of applications:

•Verifying an interaction between two known proteins or protein domains for which there is a

prior reason to expect an interaction (testing two-hybrid interactions); see Chapter 3, “Verifying

interaction”.

•Screening a library for novel proteins that speciﬁcally interact with a known bait (forward two-hybrid

library screen); see Chapter 4, “Forward Two-Hybrid library screen”.

Advantages of the ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid system

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System is a system designed to enable detection of protein-protein

interactions and has been modiﬁed to decrease false positives. The primary modiﬁcations include:

•Uses low-copy-number (ARS/CEN) vectors to control over-expression and increase reproducibility

•Contains three dierent reporter genes with independent promoters to rapidly weed out false

positives

•Uses a reporter gene (URA3) that allows both positive and negative selection

•An extended panel of yeast control vectors to aid in setting up the experiments and evaluate results

•Incorporation of the Gateway™ Technology to allow rapid and easy generation of bait and prey

constructs, and to facilitate down-stream applications

System components

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System includes:

•Yeast expression vectors pDEST™22, pDEST™32, and pEXP™-AD502 for generation of GAL4 DNA

Binding Domain (GAL4 DBD) and GAL4 Activation Domain (GAL4 AD) fusion proteins

•Reagents for production of the expression clones containing GAL4 DBD and GAL4 AD fusion

proteins

•A glycerol stock of yeast strain MaV203, which is the two-hybrid yeast strain used

•Positive and negative controls for the two-hybrid assay

ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System User Guide 13

Gateway™ Technology

All yeast expression vectors in the ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System are Gateway™-adapted to allow rapid

and easy generation of bait and prey constructs, and to facilitate down-stream applications.

The Gateway™ Technology is a universal cloning method that takes advantage of the site-speciﬁc

recombination properties of bacteriophage lambda to provide a rapid and highly ecient way to move

your DNA sequence of interest into multiple vector systems.

For a brief description of the Gateway™ Technology, see the Appendix, AppendixA, “Gateway™

recombination reactions”

Purpose of this manual

This manual provides the following information:

•An overview of the two-hybrid technology (“General description of the Two-Hybrid system” on

page15)

•Instructions to make your bait and prey plasmid (“Generating bait and prey plasmids” on page31)

•Guidelines for testing the interaction between two proteins (“Recommended controls” on page40)

•Guidelines for choosing the library you want to screen (“Choosing Two-Hybrid library” on page49)

•Procedures to perform forward two-hybrid library screens (“Screening forward Two-Hybrid library”

on page55)

Important

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System is designed to help you perform your two-hybrid analysis. The

system has been designed to help you perform your experiment in the simplest, most direct fashion,

but use of the system assumes that users are familiar with manipulating yeast and cloning.

General description of the Two-Hybrid system

Two hybrid proteins

Two-hybrid or interaction trap systems exploit the fact that transcription factors are comprised of two

domains, a DNA binding domain (DBD) and an activation domain (AD). Two separate hybrid proteins

are constructed in two-hybrid screens. The ﬁrst hybrid protein is the DBD/protein X fusion known as

the “bait”, while the second hybrid protein is the AD/protein Y fusion known as the “prey”. These two

hybrids are encoded on separate yeast expression plasmids, with independent selectable markers.

Figure2Prey

Chapter2General introduction

General description of the Two-Hybrid system 2

ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System User Guide 15

Reporters under control of UAS

The yeast strain employed contains reporter genes, such as lacZ or auxotrophic markers such as

HIS3 or URA3. The regulatory regions of these reporters have been engineered to contain the DNA

binding sites (operator sequences) for the DBD/protein X fusion (bait). These operator sequences act as

upstream activating sequences (UAS) in yeast.

Note: Yeast two-hybrid strains have been speciﬁcally modiﬁed to contain these reporter genes. wt

yeast strains cannot be used!

Interaction drives expression of reporters

The yeast strain used is transformed with the expression plasmids encoding the bait and prey. If

protein X interacts with protein Y in the nucleus, this will bring the activation domain together with the

DNA-binding domain to reconstitute transcriptional activation and result in expression of the reporter

genes.

X and Y do not interact - no Reporter Gene Expression

Chapter2General introduction

General description of the Two-Hybrid system

16 ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System User Guide

X and Y interact - Reporter Gene Expressed!

Evaluating reporter gene expression

There are two main ways to check for positive interactions in yeast strains containing reporter genes:

•Positive interactions are detected by selecting on plates lacking the auxotrophic marker, such as

Histidine or Uracil. Yeast cells containing plasmids that express interacting bait and prey proteins

will grow and form colonies.

•Positive interactions are detected by assaying for enzyme activity, such as colorimetric assays for

β-galactosidase activity. This is used to reduce false positives after selection for auxotrophs, or to

measure interaction strength quantitatively.

Screening Two-Hybrid libraries

Two-hybrid libraries (i.e. prey libraries) consist of a collection of expression plasmids in which an

Activation Domain is fused to individual cDNAs. Screening prey libraries will detect prey proteins that

interact with the bait protein of interest. To perform the screen, transform the library and bait expressing

plasmids into yeast. Cells containing a prey that interacts with the bait will form colonies on selective

plates. Secondary screens, such as for β-galactosidase expression, will conﬁrm the interaction.

False positives

Early two-hybrid systems suered from false positives - candidate proteins identiﬁed as interacting but

which do not truly interact or are biologically irrelevant. False positives can result from:

•Proteins containing regions with surfaces having low anities for many dierent proteins, (e.g.,

large hydrophobic surfaces)

•Proteins that normally interact with a large number of proteins (e.g., heat shock proteins)

•Proteins containing regions functioning as activation domains

•Proteins aecting chromatin structure

•Proteins having low or nonspeciﬁc anities for the promoter regions (or proteins bound there) that

drive the expression of reporter genes

Limiting the false positives is essential in successful two-hybrid experiments.

Verifying Two-Hybrid interaction

Using the ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System to verify an interaction between two known proteins, you will

perform the following steps:

1. Construct bait plasmid

2. Construct prey plasmid

3. Transform yeast cells with bait and prey plasmid

4. Test reporter activity

Forward Two-Hybrid library screen

Using the ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System for a forward two-hybrid library screen, you will perform the

following steps:

1. Construct and test bait plasmid

2. Construct or obtain two-hybrid library

3. Transform yeast cells with bait plasmid and library

4. Select for reporter activity by growth on auxotrophic plates

5. Conﬁrm interaction of positive prey plasmids

Note: The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System comes with a positive interaction control. However, a

bait-speciﬁc positive interaction control may be an additional useful tool in testing your experiment.

Construct a prey plasmid with a known interactor of the bait protein to use as a bait-speciﬁc positive

control.

Cloning vectors

The ProQuest™ Two-Hybrid System includes these yeast expression vectors:

•pDEST™32 for generation of the bait plasmid

•pDEST™22 for construction of the prey plasmid, or for generation of a two-hybrid library by

Gateway™ recombination

•pEXP™-AD502 for generation of a two-hybrid library by restriction cloning
